Monster Vault adventure... any info?

[Reaper Steve]

Man, WotC sure has kept the lid on HotFK and Monster Vault. Sure, we're seeing some previews on Mondays and Fridays now, put I'm surprised there haven't been more leaks or preview copies in premier stores. Premier release is only 12 days away!

Anyway, I'd really like to know:
1) What is the level of this adventure?
2) Is it a sequel to Reavers of Harkenwold from the DM kit?
3) What is the premise? You know, the synopsis used to advertise a normal adventure... usually months prior to release.

Anyone?

Um, Monster Vault is a boxed set monster manual that comes with tokens among other things. Think new versions of MM1 creatures with a splash of new ones in there.

I'm not aware of any adventure that is a part of it.

The adventure is titled "Cairn of the Winter King", and it's for 4th level characters.
That's all I can gather from what they've previewed.

4th level would make it an appropriate follow-on to Reavers, even if it isn't a sequel in plot. This pleases me.

Markin: Monster Vault comes with a 128 page book, 10 sheets of tokens (corrected), and a 32 page adventure (see details from Almacov.)

Markin: Monster Vault comes with a 128 page book, 8 sheets of tokens, and a 32 page adventure (see details from Almacov.)

My bad. Did not know that. Thanks for the tip!

My understanding was that a DM could start with the Red Box and then continue on through the DM Kit and the Monster Vault adventures, thus providing an adventure path for the group.

Most of the hoopla around the Vault has been about the monsters though.

10 sheets of tokens

But in the preview material we've seen it looks like those token sheets are about half the size of the ones in the dm's kit.

It's a 320 page book.

It's a 320 page book.

One thing is for sure: I got it wrong.

However, the WotC product catalog shows it as a 256 page book. Amazon's listing has a 160 page book.

Personally, I'm hoping you are right!

So as a fact we know the book will be a number divisible by 8...


Wait... 8 is 2 to the 3rd...

2 and 3... 23...

23 = sign of the Illuminati...
